Trousers Bicycle Woman is about objects and belonging. How do the things that belong to us make up our identity? Do the things we own give us a sense of belonging and what happens to us when those are taken away? The play interweaves seemingly unconnected lives and binds them together through their overlapping objects and identities.
The play was chosen because of its form. It has been constructed with multiple story lines being joined through tangible items. The play leaves the reader with a sense of displacement and challenges our ideas of ownership. The play speaks of the experience of loss and change through the passing on of objects, and staging a reading was an interesting challenge.
